Dark Horses for 2000 Guineas

[Peter Poston’s Ghost]

Anybody prepared to share any names for this?

As all the meaningful trials have been run (RP Trophy is more for derby hopefuls) we are left to wonder and speculate during the winter months.

I am putting up a Brian Meehan colt that was backed off the boards in his one and only 2YO race and won nicely without being fully tuned up.

He’s 40/1/ is for the 2000. I got a bit of 160/1 on BF.

His name;

CAT JUNIOR.

Over to you, friends!

that sounds like my kind of ante post bet, having backed Diamond Tycoon at 100/1 – am I right in thinking that Brian Meehans horses tend to get a bit overlooked [eg Breeders Cup etc]…

Brian seems to be regarded to be a bit in the "twilight zone" between "top" trainers and dream chasers when it comes to elite races. Red Rocks and David Junior went off at decent prices before some big wins. Maybe they would have been a few points shorter if AOB or MS had them?

Brian is certainly capable of winning any race with a competetive horse and could pay to follow in Group 1’s for the time being.

If i had a penny for every time a big bet went down and the horse to sink it was a Brian Meehan horse…well… .
I wonder what his stats are for a £ level stake over a season?
